I don't get it what does his political donations have to do with this? And it seems like a link to the info would have taken less space. Good for Costco. Better then the Walmart starvation wages it appears. And I do not give a damn who he contributes to or what his politics are.
Providing the actual data rather than just a link was entirely appropriate and a highly-effective thing to do. It screams out viscerally that this guy is a Democrat, and not just a lukewarm one - look at some of the extremists whose campaigns he has funded (although you could have gotten that just by reading to the end of the story - doesn't it make you feel warm and fuzzy inside when a CEO pats himself on the back by telling everybody how little he makes, as a multiple of the salary that other employees make, and how rotten the other CEOs are who make larger salaries, but then it turns out that he has stock worth $150 million - typical Democrat hypocrite)...
